Hat wearing tips

All hats are not created equal and few are made as well as a Wallaroo. To be sure you'll happily wear your new hat for years to come, consider the following hat wearing tips:

Hats Enhance Your Natural Beauty

Try on several colors and select one that you like and that flatters your skin tone. It's a quick and easy way to brighten your face without wearing makeup.

Select a crown shape that complements the shape of your face and head. Rounded crowns work for almost any face, while square crowns work better for larger heads.

When trying on hats, be sure to position the hat in the center of your head, covering half of your forehead. One common mistake women make is wearing their hat too far back on the crown of their head.

Are you searching for a new look? Hats are a fun way to change or enhance your personal style. Consider your lifestyle and everyday activities when choosing a hat or two to add to your everyday wardrobe.

If you are concerned with keeping your skin young and supple and want to take precautions against skin cancer, be sure to wear a hat with at least a 3" brim. Also be sure to purchase a hat that is UPF 50+, the highest sun protection rating available.
